Hi Kim,
Please add an Old and New Business agenda item to Tuesday’s agenda, first item.
A. Old and New Business - Emergency Declara on Request, Cotuit Entrance Channel – Severe
Hazard to Naviga on
Request for a support le er from the Commission to DEP . SE3-6100
Please forward this email to the Commissioners and copy the mee ng material.
The County is in the process of mobilizing to complete the approved dredging of the Cotuit
Bay Entrance Channel. DPW received the pre-dredge survey and found that a small shoal will
be le to the west of the channel upon comple on. DPW is concerned that this may pose a
risk to naviga on, so they are pursuing an emergency authoriza on from the various
regulatory agencies to seek approval to remove the shoal while the dredging is on-going.

Hi Darcy,

emergency authoriza on from the various regulatory agencies to seek approval to remove the shoal

As you can see in the below email chain, Paul Marsala from Foth (copied on this email) has been
